    Does anybody know of a decent bike shop in Wirral? By that I mean a place where they are actually
    interested in cycling and don't try to sell you things you don't want.

    TIA for any feedback

    Can't recommend them, returned a set of brake blocks to them that had the backing metal showing
    through the rubber before the rubber had even half worn away. The intention of my returning them was
    to warn the shop that they may have had a bad batch but was met with a surly staff member who said I
    shouldn't buy cheap blocks. He went on to say that the scraping of the metal on the rim was the
    indication to change the blocks, as if one should wait until the rims were damaged before changing
    them. On inspection of the said blocks he then announced that I hadn't fitted them properly as they
    had worn uneavenly, he hadn't heard of toeing-in. "Neal Milne" <[email hidden]>

    I'd second that, the 'Bike Factory' has a good range of bikes and equipment. John "James Annan"

    Slightly outside Wirral but Deeside Cycles is excellent for road bikes.


    Right by Shotton railway station

    I've found the Bike Factory to be full of miserable gits and clueless Saturday boys. I use either
    Deeside Cycles for my road bike needs or The Edge in Chester for my mountain bike needs.
